:01:20. > :01:21.from Gillingham, was one of two British studdnts
:01:22. > :01:24.attacked by a gang of four locals this morning

:01:27. > :01:40.in a hospital there. Described as an outstanding student

:02:27. > :02:30.we had called for help. I told him to hang in there and that hdlp

:02:53. > :02:59.been arrested and they have also retrieved a knife. The studdnts had
:03:00. > :03:04.been on a six`week placement in Kuching. We were shocked to hear
:03:05. > :03:09.this morning that two students, who were doing their collective is out
:03:10. > :03:14.in Kuching, were very sadly stabbed and fatally wounded in the process.
:03:15. > :03:17.They were just doing what thousands of medical students do everx year,

:11:34. > :11:37.Claudia Sermbezis has been to meet her.
:11:38. > :11:52.Just over a year ago, Alici` `` Elesha Turner was on holidax in
:11:53. > :11:57.Egypt. She had pain in her leg and when she returned, her GP told her
:11:58. > :12:00.she had cancer. There are no words. It is one of those things that until
:12:01. > :12:08.you experience it, it consules you, you do not know nor `` you do not
:12:09. > :12:16.know what to do or what to think. It feels like your world has started
:12:17. > :12:21.crumbling. Because her GP w`s so vigilant, the cancer was catght
:12:22. > :12:28.early. Her leg was saved but her femur, knee and top of her tibia was
:12:29. > :12:35.replaced by titanium. Two m`jor muscles were also removed. She woke
:12:36. > :12:40.up one morning and said she did not want to die. In my head at that
:12:41. > :12:50.point, I did not know how b`d it was or where it was. It was such a
:12:51. > :12:53.horrible feeling. Osteosarcoma is a cancer that usually develops in
:12:54. > :13:02.growing bones was any bone can be affected. Every year in the UK and
:13:03. > :13:09.Ireland, there are 1600 people who are diagnosed with this forl of
:13:10. > :13:14.cancer. It is devastating. This limb saving surgery that she has
:13:15. > :13:19.undergone is a way of saving a limb at any cost. This particular form of
:13:20. > :13:24.cancer would not have responded to chemotherapy, so this was the only
:13:25. > :13:31.way to remove the cancer. I have started to do things I never thought
:13:32. > :13:40.I would do, I have got into modelling, which I would not have
:13:41. > :13:43.done before the cancer. Elesha Turner is taking part in a campaign
:13:44. > :13:47.to raise awareness. Claudia Sermbezis is live
:13:48. > :13:57.in Hastings for us. She had to go back into surgery
:13:58. > :14:02.Parts of the titanium startdd loosening, so it was causing pain.
:14:03. > :14:04.That has had to be replaced. It is hoped that eventually things will
:14:05. > :14:12.settle down, her body will `ccept it and her leg should work as normal.
:14:13. > :14:17.She also has to work at trahning her remaining muscles, as two of her
:14:18. > :14:21.muscles were removed. She h`s scans every three months, which is
:14:22. > :14:25.stressful, to see whether the cancer has returned. It is hoped that in
:14:26. > :14:28.time, it will seem as though she never had cancer in the first place.

:16:35. > :16:40.not to fight at all or to hdlp the war effort. It was 1916, whdn a

:16:51. > :16:55.Sargent found that he could not kill under any circumstances. Thdy were
:16:56. > :16:59.made to feel almost ashamed of themselves so it would have been a
:17:00. > :17:04.difficult decision to make. But he was a man of conviction, he believed
:17:05. > :17:08.that it was the wrong thing to do. So he would not do it. Desphte
:17:09. > :17:13.offering to be a stretcher bearer, he was jailed, sent from Wormwood
:17:14. > :17:21.Scrubs to Dartmoor. His tre`tment was extremely harsh.
:17:22. > :17:25.After the war, he struggled to get work. Eventually, he got thd job of

:21:31. > :21:39.great British actress. She was a star and it was wonderful to hear
:21:40. > :21:47.her sing. It was tearful and yet it was very amusing and it was what
:21:48. > :21:55.Dora was all about. A final applause for one of our best loved actresses.
:21:56. > :22:00.You saw the clapping there. Was so lovely about when her Coffin was
